The American Petroleum Institute, Grocery Manufacturers Association and other groups have filed a petition asking the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn the federal Renewable Fuels Standard and the EPA approval of E15 fuel.
The groups argue the RFS has driven corn prices up and is contributing to high food and animal feed prices. As for E15, they contend the fuel damages engines and EPA approved its use before automotive industry testing had been completed. EPA cleared E15 for use in 2001-or-newer cars and light trucks.
In a related manner, Republican Senators Roger Wicker of Mississippi and David Vitter of Louisiana have introduced a bill which would prohibit the EPA from allowing the commercial use of gasoline containing more than 10 percent ethanol. S 344 has been referred to the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works.

Love it. I hope they win and we can finally get this corn ethanol madness shut down once and for all before it starves every many, woman, child and animal out of existence.
Sorry harold – that’s hardly the case. Corn-based ethanol consumes approx. 2.5% of the world’s grain production, on top of that a third of all corn consumed in ethanol is returned to the market as extremely high-qualtiy and cost-effective animal feed called distillers grains. Corn prices are at record highs due to the 50 year drought this country just suffered through, not ethanol.
